percent from Tk.916.46 million to Tk.1 701.82 million.

3.4 TREASURY OPERATIONS

The Bank made its mark in Treasury operation. In money market the Bank played active
role in local and foreign currency. Besides, it carried on operation as Primary Dealer.
Having participated in local currency and foreign currency market and taken part in
secondary trading of Govt. securities the Bank made significant growth. It would not be
out of place to mention that Jamuna Bank Limited was the only third generation bank,
which was selected as Primary Dealer by Bangladesh Bank owing to its excellent
performance in money market. Treasury operation has been identified as one of the best
sources for earning by the Bank through effective participation.

JBL's dealing room is well equipped with modern and updated equipments like voice
recorder, reuter 3000xtra, CDBL electronic system etc. The activities of FX and local
money market have been synchronized with complete segregation of activities of front
and back offices. Intensive monitoring is ensured by the Bank's Asset Liability
Management Committee (ALCO) which sits in regular meetings to review the asset
liability position and interest rates and takes important decisions thereon.

In the year 2006 there was a bit volatility in the local money market sometime in March-
April but this market .vas more or less stable with a little fluctuations in interest rate
during most of the time of the year. On the contrary, FX market was to a great extent
volatile in 2006 having pressure on Taka against dollar. But our professionally skilled
human resources were quite tactful in handling operations and could reap the benefits of
local money market and FX market with significant growth. They were prudent
enough to maintain the regulatory requirements of CRR and SLR of the Bank.

3.5. DEPOSITS AND DEPOSIT MIX

In commercial banks operation starts with mobilization of resources i.e. tapping of
deposits and then the said resources are deployed as loans, advances and investments
for the purpose of maximizing wealth which -sans deposits have dominance in
commercial bank's operations. That is why, there is a common saying that deposit is the
lifeblood of a bank. In keeping with this axiom JBL attaches utmost importance to the

19
deposit mobilization campaign and to the optimal deposit mix for minimizing COF
as far as practicable. A stiff competition persisted in the market as to deposit
mobilization and there was a pressure on interest rate. 3esides, instability in political
atmosphere was adversely affecting business, which stood as a hindrance to the smooth
operation of banks including deposit mobilization. Despite all these unfavorable factors
JBL was able to instill confidence in customers as to its commitments to the depositors
and borrowing customers and

thereby could mobilize a total deposit ofTk.17284.81 million in 2006 against that
ofTk.14454.13 million in the preceding year showing an increase of Tk.2830.68 million
being 19.58 percent. Endeavor is underway for augmenting low cost deposit by
accommodating good customers at competitive price. For healthy growth of business JBL
puts emphasis on no cost and low cost deposit all the time. A number of savings schemes
are in place for mobilizing long term deposits which can be planned to be invested in
term loans in-the area lease finance, project finance and consortium finance with a
view to having better yields. JBL's such move will motivate the people to have good
savings habit, as well. The comparative position of deposit mix of the Bank as on
31.12.2006 and 31.12.2005 is depicted below:

20
 Types of Deposit As on As on Changes Changes in &

3.6 LOANS & ADVANCES

Though there was an unfavorable business environment due to political turmoil throughout
the year JBL was in constant efforts to explore different areas of credit operation and

could raise the credit portfolios to Tk.12796.63 million in 2006 with an increase of
Tk.1784.80 million (16.21%) over that of the preceding year. The total credit as on
31.12.05 was Tk.11011.83 million. In order to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements for avoiding risk of exposure to

single borrower, concentration on large loans, to bring in excellence in credit operation in

relation to risk management, yield, exposure, tenure, collaterals, security valuation etc.
JBL strived for further diversification of credit portfolios. Its credit facilities were
concentrated on Trade Finance, Agriculture and related sector, project finance,
wholesale and retail trade, transport sector, hospital & diagnostic centers and
syndicate financing for big projects, capacity additions to the manufacturing sector and
structured financing for developing infrastructure of the country. Initiatives are
underway for helping small and medium entrepreneurs in the ventures for which, in JBL,
we are developing SME credit products and strategies. JBL has also increased lending
activities to small consumers through Consumer Credit Scheme.
3.7 RISK MANAGEMENT

21
As a regulatory body Bangladesh Bank wants all banks to take effective measures for
implementation of risk management in banking operations covering the major risks in asset-
liability management, credit risk management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Internal
Control & Compliance and Money Laundering Prevention. As these risks are integral parts
of banking business JBL has put highest priority on management of such risks with intense
monitoring of credit portfolios. We believe these will improve our operational and financial
performance along with meeting the regulatory requirements. The Bank is in constant efforts
to establish superior monitoring of credit risks and returns. For bringing in harmonious
matching between assets and liabilities ALCO reviews these on a regular basis for keeping
risk in this area to an acceptable level. The Bank's credit policy guidelines and procedures
are continuously reviewed and upgraded by its internal committees. The Bank also pursues an
effective internal control system by establishing systems and procedures for scrutinizing the
transactions periodically, encompassing key back-up supports and commissioning regular
contingency plans. Through establishment of proper governance structure risk and returns
are evaluated with a view to producing sustainable revenues, reducing volatility in
earnings and enhancing value to shareholders. Maintenance of quality of assets is always the
key issue to the JBL Management. Continuous efforts are made to maintain earning assets at the
highest possible level so as to maximize profits and minimize cost of operation.

4.1.2.6 COMPUTATION CREDIT RISK GRADING

The following step-wise activities outline the detail process for arriving at credit risk
grading.

Step I : Identify all the Principal Risk Components

Credit risk for counterparty arises from an aggregation of the following: Financial Risk

• Business/Industry Risk
• Management Risk
• Security Risk
• Relationship Risk
Each of the above mentioned key risk areas require to be evaluated and aggregated
to arrive at an overall risk grading measure.

a) Evaluation of Financial Risk:

Risk that counter parties will fail to meet obligation due to financial distress.
This typically entails analysis of financials i.e. analysis of leverage, liquidity,
profitability & interest coverage ratios. To conclude, this capitalizes on the
risk of high leverage, poor liquidity, low profitability & insufficient cash
flow.

b) Evaluation of Business/Industry Risk:

Risk that adverse industry situation or unfavorable business condition will
impact borrowers' capacity to meet obligation. The evaluation; of this
category of risk looks at parameters such as business outlook, size of

30
 business, industry growth, market competition & barriers to entry/exit. To
conclude, this capitalizes on the risk of failure due to low market share &
poor industry growth.
c) Evaluation of Management Risk:
Risk that counter parties may default as a result of poor managerial ability
including experience of the management, its succession plans and teamwork.

d) Evaluation of Security Risk:

Risk that the bank might be exposed due ':o poor quality or strength of the
security in case of default. This may entail strength of security & collateral,

helps the Banks & financial institutions to understand various dimensions of
Risk moved in different credit (transactions. The aggregation of such grading
across the borrowers, activities and the lines of business can provide hello
assessment of the quality of credit portfolio of a bank or a branch The credit
risk grading system is vital to take decisions both al the pre-sanctum stage as
well as post-sanction stage.

At the pre-sanction stage, credit grading helps the sanctioning authority to

decide whether to lend or not to lend, what should be the loan price. what
should be the extent of exposure, what should be the appropriate credit
facility. what are the various facilities, what ;are the various facilities, what are
the various risk mitigation tools to put a cap on the risk level.

At the post-sanction stage, the bank can decide about the depth of the review or

enewal, frequency of review, periodicity or the grading and other precautions to be taken.

review, periodicity of the mid other precautions to be taken

Having considered the significance of credit risk ) - ,lading, it becomes imperative

for the banking system to carefully develop a credit risk grading model which
meets the objective outlined above.

The lending Risk Analysis (LRA) mammal introduced in 1993 by the Bangladesh Bank has
been in practice for mandatory use by the Banks & financial institutions for loan size of
BDT 1.00 core and above. However, file LRA manual suffers from a lot of
subjectivity, sometimes creating confusion to the lending Bankers in terms of

53
selection of credit proposals on the basis of risk exposure. Meanwhile, in 2003 end
Bangladesh Bank provided guidelines for credit risk grade scorecard for risk assessment of
credit proposals

Since the two-credit risk models are presently in vogue. The Governing; Board
of Bangladesh institute of Batik Management (13113M) under (he chairmanship
of the Governor, 13;mf; ladcsh Bank decided (hat an integrated Credit Risk
Grading; Model be developed incorporating file significant features of the
above mentioned models with a view to render a need based simplified and user
friendly model for application by the Banks and financial institutions in processing
credit decisions and evaluating the magnitude of risk involved therein.

Bangladesh Bank expects all commercial franks to have a well-defined

credit risk management which delivers accurate and timely risk grading. This
manual describes file elements of an effective internal process for grading credit
risk. It also provides a comprehensive but generic discussion of the objectives
and general characteristics of effective credit risk grading system In practice a
banks credit risk grading system should reflect the complexity of its lending
activities and the complexity of risk involved.

DEFINITION OF CREDIT RISK GRADING (CRG)

• The Credit Risk Grading (CRG) is a collective definition based on the pre-
specified scale and reflects the underlying credit-risk for a given exposure.
• A Credit Risk Grading deploys a number/ alphabet/ symbol as a primary

summary indicator of risks associated with a credit exposure.

• Credit Risk grading is the basic module for developing for developing a credit risk

management system.

 FUNCTIONS OF CREDIT RISK GRADING

Well-managed credit risk grading systems promote bank safety and soundness by
facilitating informed decision-making. Grading systems measure credit risk and
differentiate individual credits and groups of credits by the risk they pose. This allows
bank management and examiners to monitor changes and trends in risk levels. The
process also allows bank management to manage risk to optimize returns.

USE OF CREDIT RISK GRADING

• The credit risk grading matrix allows application of uniform standards to credits
to ensure a common standardized approach to assess the quality of individual obligor,
credit portfolio of aunt, line of business, the branch of the Bank as a whole.

• As evident, the CRG outputs would be relevant for individual credit selection,
wherein ether a borrower or a particular exposure/facility is rated. The other decisions
would be relative to pricing (credit-spread) and specific feathers of the credit facility.
These would largely constitute obligor level analysis.

• Risk grading would also be relevant for surveillance and monitoring, internal MIS
and assessing the aggregate risk profile of a Bank. It is also relevant for portfolio level
analysis.

NUMBER AND SHORT NAME OF GRADES USED IN THE CRG

• The proposed CRG scale consists of 8 categories with Short names and numbers
are prow\vided as follows:

55
 GRADING SHORT NUMBER
Superior SUP 1
Good GD 2
Acceptable ACCPT 3
Marginal/Watch list MG/WL 4
Special Mention SM 5
Sub standard SS 6

6. CREDIT RECOVERY
The Recovery Department should directly manage accounts with sustained
dc1crioralion (a risk Rating of Sub Standard (6) or worse). Hanks may wish to
transfer EXIT accounts graded 4-5 to the RU for efficient exit based on
recommendation of CRM and Corporate Banking. Whenever an account is
handed over from Relationship Management to RU, a Handover/1Downgrade
Checklist (Annexure - 9) should be completed

Down Grading process should be done nomadically and should not be postponed
unit the annual review process,

The RU's primary functions arc:

• Determine Account Action Plan/Recovery Strategy

7.1 Problems Identification

During internship period in Jamuna Bank Limited Dilkusha Branch tile
following problems are observed.

• Human resource of any organization is considered as a valuable asset. But

human resources, in the branch, are not equipped with adequate
banking knowledge. Majority of the human resources have lack of basic
knowledge regarding money, banking finance and accounting. Without
proper knowledge in these subjects, efficiency cannot be optimized. Bank
can
arrange training program on these subjects.

• There is shortage of computer in general banking section. Sometimes the

shortage of computer makes some unfortunate event in that section.

• Flora On-line banking software is used by JBL and this is quite difficult to use
for the employee as the employees are not well trained.

• This bank does not have any plan to enter into the Credit Card Market. It is well

versed that tomorrow's payment will be consisted of only plastic money

(Credit Card). A large part of business transaction will be done by credit
card III near future. In western world, more than 50% of transactions are i n
credit card this bank does not prepare from now on, it cannot compete in the
future market. So, the branch should give special attention to the introduction of
Credit Card

• Since a number of new banks are coming to existence with their extended

customer service pattern in a completely competitive manner.

Customer-services must be made dynamic and prompt. Now a days,
people especially business people have very little time to waste. So the

60
 bank should make its service prompt so that people need not give more time in
the banking activities

7.2 Recommendation

• Now a day's on-line banking is not a very uncommon service 1,01-ally private

commercial bank. JBI, provide On-line banking service but they take
source charge for it, if the customers do not use his/her mother branch. To
encourage customers to use On-line banking facility this service charge
should not be taken charge from the customers.

• Though JBL using very popular software i.e. Flora bank on--line software but

the use of it is quite difficult for the employee. (According to the statement
of some employee of JBL who has the experience to use more then one
banking software).

• JBL are not taking their clearing cheque for other- They are using IBC/OBC
systems to take that kind of clearing cheque.

• JBI, not providing the credit cards in market which now a days one of the

most important part of banking. So for it they are loosing too many customers.

• Customer service of bank has a greater impact on its customer. To provide

smarter customer service they need a call center department is very

popular now a day.

• Foreign exchange operations of other banks are more dynamic and less time

consuming. JBL should take some initiative to compete with those banks.

• In our country financial problem is a great constraint in foreign trade. JBL Is

very conservative for post-shipment finance. 11' it stays in liberal position

the exporters can easily over-come their financial constraint.
